In chemistry, a salt is an ionic compound that can be formed by the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base.

These component ions can be inorganic, such as chloride, or organic, such as acetate; and can be monatomic, such as fluoride, or polyatomic, such as sulfate. There are several varieties of salts. Salts that hydrolyze to produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water are alkali sa
